> I was in my room
> And I was just like, staring at the walls thinking about everything
But then again, I was thinking about nothing
And then my mom came in, and I didn't even know she was there
She called my name and I didn't hear her
And then she started screaming, "Mike! Mike!"
And I go, "What? What's the matter?"
She goes, "What's the matter with you?"
I go, "There's nothing wrong, mom"
She goes, "Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!"
I go, "No mom, I'm not on drugs, I'm okay, I'm just thinking, you know? Why don't you get me a Pepsi?"
She goes, "No! You're on drugs!"
I go, "Mom, I'm okay, I'm just thinking"
And she goes, "No! You're not thinking, you're on drugs!
Normal people don't act that way!"
I go, "Mom, just get me a Pepsi, please? All I want's a Pepsi"
And she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi
Just one Pepsi
And she wouldn't give it to me
Just a Pepsi!

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around your back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy

I'm not crazy! (Institution!)
You're the one that's crazy! (Institution!)
You're driving me crazy! (Institution!)
They stick me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect from the enemy, myself

They earned some recognition for sure. I think Hatebreed played one of their songs on their cover album as well.

Posting lyrics made me remember a song I wanted to write about for some time now. From a different genre, although can be categorized in the large family of rock music.
LGT: A rádió/Szól a rádió (~The Radio/The Radio is On)

As I noted I wanted to post this for the lyrics. I think it's quite rare. Basically they took events and facts about the radio, the history of Hungarian radio, and weaved it into the lyrics. Am gonna try to do a translation in the following post. It won't be an "artistic" translation ofc, and I want to add couple of notes about what they are referring to.

LGT: A rádió/Szól a rádió (~The Radio/The Radio is On) - lyrics

It was called "broadcasting" and it cost a lot
When the first speaker sat at the microphone
His metallic voice lifted off and flew far
And a listener thought - The test was successful
Note: it was really called "broadcasting" in the beginning, with the English term. Prior to that we had something on the Hungary that can be translated to "telenews" which was an idea of the Hungarian inventor, Puskás Tivadar of the telephone exchange. He imagined that the telephone wasn't just for communication between two parties but a tool for mass communication, and they organized a news service that could be listened via the telephone. It had liek 10K subscriber in the country. Anyway he worked closely with Edison, and I think English/American practices had great impact on telecommunication hereabout.

On the Gyáli street a closed up furniture truck stood
Which served as the first radio studio in '23
And it was served as broadcast fine
When adjutant John Marcal sang a song
Note: this is all true. The first experimental radio station was set up in a furniture transporting truck (it was roomy enough) and it stood on the yard of a post office on the Gyáli street, Budapest. Marcal János was a postal coworker, who was an amateur singer. They thought just reading stuff would be too dry and wanted a colorful insert, so they asked him to sing.

They could note about the radio in '24
That it broadcasted the first concert from the Zoo
And the producers cursed the competition
Which sold the Rhapsody in Blue without profit
Note: The first two lines are about the Zoo of Budapest, which was an important place for community events, and they held concerts there regularly (the Zoo had it's on orchestra as well). This broadcast in 1924 June, was still experimental as far as I know, since "official" radio was started next year.
The lines about the copyright wankery surely is a note about the issue how the IP holders needs to be compensated after their stuff is broadcasted. Rhapsody in Blue was published in 1924.

The amateurs living nearby heard clearly
When the station of Csepel greeted with a Good Morning in '25
All kinds of weird antennas jumped into the air
And a clever student tinkered a detector receiver
Note: as I wrote about the first official station was opened in 1925, at Csepel, a district of Budapest. The rest is about the spread of the radio, and ofc a nod towards the amateurs, enthusiasts who built their own equipment and had important role in the popularization of radio broadcasts.

By the golden age all the speakers had learnt that
Improvisation is forbidded, the written text must be read!
Although only a few knew Skoff Elza and Filotás Lili
All the listeners knew how nice their voice is
The golden age of radio begin in the '30s on the Hungary. I assume it was expected from the anchors to tell the news how they got it on paper. Radio ain't free.
Skoff Elza and Filotás Lili were both presenters the latter a decade earlier from 1931 (at the age 23). Both knew languages - German, French, English typically complemented by some others.

The kids were searching the "uncle" in the box
And the grandmas polished it with wax
The mailmen took from the listeners the tax
Who had to pay the same both for the good and bad news
Note: the "uncle" is a generic term for older men, the kids thought someone is in the box of the radio. Since the box was made of wood and not plastic back then it needed some care, as with all furniture, so they polished them with wax. The tax in this context is the subscription fee, I assume it was kinda like the telly loicense for the Bri'ish. And ofc it was the same amount no matter what was the news.

I skip a verse here because it's just a "radio simulation".

Today we receive it in stereo, and it's good
For one can hear different things from the two sides
The beauty in the sound of the grand orchestra
That you sit in the middle and you listen well, the picture is more clear
Note: it's a not so technical explanation of the stereo sound, since it gives a different perspective, a more natural sounding.

Sometimes it interferes with us, and sometimes machines interfere with them
We put them in our pockets, and if you don't pay mind it will pocket you
In clear weather all broadcasts received clearly
And in the programs the old song can be heard anew
Note: first two lines are word plays I tried to translate doesn't matter, first line is based on the interference ofc.

As for Hungary.
It appears that at the same time the Czechoslovak reforms started, the Kádár regime here introduced new economical practices, trying to make the country's economy actually work. The changes put forward in the neighbour were mostly political in nature, so our leadership started to pray to Saint Lenin that they keep them very "moderate". They feared if things were getting out of hands then our economical project will be scraped, or perhaps even the thoughts of resistance will be reignited here or at least Moscow will think that's happening too.
Since their fears seemed to become true, they decided to show they are loyal subjects of Moscow, and they can march along with the Warsaw Pact, right into Czechoslovakia, when finally Brezhnev decided at the military solution. Kádár even declared that if it comes to counter-revolution in Czechoslovakia, he will vote wholeheartedly for military intervention. Well he did the same with his own country so I don't see how could he not applied the same principle elsewhere.
From his opinion we could also deduce, that the Dubcek-turn, was went far enough for him to consider it a counter-revolution. However this is not the case. He gave the opinion to Brezhnev (on the day of the invasion, on August 21), that the events in Czechoslovakia are closer to the Polish events of 1956 than to the Hungarian counter-revolution of the same year. Still, Hungarian forces were participated the same.

Supposedly later in 1988-89 when our socialist system started to collapse they considered the moral Czechoslovakian lesson and example.

 >>/52627/
I actually asked. They don't remember much tho.
What they said that there were news and they knew Hungarian soldiers are participating. There was some tension, uncertainty, and a bit of fear. They said the Czechs were labeled as counter-revolutionaries.
That's about it.

And I got bored after like 3 hours of playing. It's impressive for its time and it takes a stab at Duke Nukem Forever in one chapter but it's pretty dull overall. Doesn't have the same badass energy as Duke or Doom.

Up till recently I uses PlayOnLinux, but some years ago it's development stopped, and sometimes stuff is buggy (like installation of dll's via winetricks).
Prior to that I sued Q4wine but the development stopped around 2014 as the conflict started with Russia, because the dev is an Ukrainian and wanted to draw attention to their plight. I think since then he restarted developing it.
However.
Recently I started to use WineGUI, which seems to be the closes to the Wine project, and it's just werks.
My problem with others I found, like proton and crossover or whatnot, that either have to pay or can't use them with pirated backup copies of games.
I think all three is in the repos no additional 3rd party sources are needed to be added.

me thinks that they were having a sale a few days ago. You could buy it for like 90% off in the main website. But I dunno how long the sale lasted

I got a copy of Duke Nukem's Megaton edition. And I compared it to randy pitchford's cursed version.

It's the exact same thing. Only thing they added were just redone Duke Nukem lines from John St. John. And the Russia/USSR chapter. I have no clue why they got rid of the Megaton edition since they could have added extra content easily to that one ffs.

I'm not really doing much winter season. I'm just staying inside. No enthusiasms to do anything lately. That happen to other bernds during winters?

I never used Bluesky but a long time ago I tried Twitter but it was not very good. I think social media is just bad in general.

I use Telegram but that's really just to follow the Ukraine war, once the war ends I will probably delete it.

Twitter was a nightmare as well.
Is there any place online that isn't a dystopian nightmare or dead?

That cover looks very familiar.
> Belgian expansion on African countries during the Scramble
> inspired most of the scenes and content from the movie "Apocalypse Now"
But Apocalypse Now is Vietnam. I assume from the cover it's the boating upriver.
I think I'll check it out/put on the list.

 >>/52343/
I figured out. The cover reminds me of The Island of Doctor Moreau.

 >>/52366/
> But Apocalypse Now is Vietnam
I think you can say that some of the lines and settings are inspired by the book. You can read then watch both and you can see the comparison.

Same creepy environment so I can kinda see that

Apparently it happened more than a year ago, but the case has been "in review" since the video above was revealed. The dude in the floor was a nignog suspected of having participated in a deadly shooting. The police claimed they shot in response after he produced a gun and shot a policeman in a leg. However, this is disputed by other people who believe he was unarmed and the shot came from another police (probably that woman seen in the video)

While looking for that I found vids related.

Bloke pulling a gun while that many officers manhandling him doesn't sound plausible. One fucking up and negligibly discharging his/her gun is more like it.

I'd really watch the whole thing spiraling out. That cop whose gun was taken looks incompetent, how he let that happen? Obviously there is more to it.
Then the dude walking up towards the arriving cop cars, calm as a cucumber. Did they just blast him, or did he went for a shot first? The branches covering the scene.
Tried to search about this but who knows when was this taken.

5-5-5! We need a couple more gold to beat that non-country in front of us! COME ON!

5-7-6. But fugging Uzbekistan got above us with one more gold and eight less medals.

Japan shot above us and they are now on 20 Gold Medals(and Australia is still stuck on 18). Japan did really well in wrestling and they also got a gold medal in women's Javelin and women's Breakdancing.
Our women's breakdancer became a meme... She wasn't very good.

Both China and the USA are on 40 gold Medals now and I am going to bed. The Olympics will be over when I get up and I hope that China will push ahead of the USA and manage to win. That would be something.

I would guess that you regret calling New Zealand a non-country, given that you are below even more of a non-country now. But New Zealand is doing really well, they have 10 gold medals at the moment. New Zealand is doing even better than Australia is per capita.

Olympics came to their end. The sporting drama ended - they seem to be proud of such bs.
The final ranking established, both US and China won 40 gold medals, but the US medal harvest in volume was greater. Much greater by 35 medals. Many countries would be glad just with the half of that.
This table is chiefly weighs the gold as the metrics to establish the rankings. Purely if we count all the medals won, the order would change a bit. Not by much, but Brazil - with her low gold count - would jump a lot.
As for Hungary, the expected medal count was around 20, which "target" our competitors accomplished. Basically on the level of previous olympic achievements. Surprisingly no medals in water polo, which we are traditionally strong in.
If we take a look at the sports and the medal distribution - athletics, canoe, fencing, swimming, pentathlon, shooting, taekwondo - we can declare we "specialize" in canoe, swimming, and fencing pentathlon also include swimming, fencing, and shooting. Taekwondo is a fluke. It would be nice if our athletes could diversify, and bring results in other sports.
We'll see in four years how they fare. If we live that long.
